Ya gotta undastand…..the notion of family in Italian-American culture is deeply rooted in the philosophy that life's tasks get accomplished together. To this subset of American culture, the family is tied together by blood and is extended to include those associated by marriage or distant relation. When families began establishing American roots, the common view was that the family was almost like a company……. and therefore, all falls under one roof.

As one of the Mafia family spokespersons…. that’s all I’m allowed to say at this time
